Yesterday, Leanne once again joined our friends at the Watershed Stewardship Association for a jam packed day of hands on learning at Blaketown Crescent high school and Whitbourne elementary!

Students explored the importance of healthy ecosystems, discovered the fascinating world of aquatic macroinvertebrates, and headed outside to have a peek at some macroinvertebrates in their natural habitat!

A huge thank you to our partners and schools for inviting us to be part of such a fun and educational day.

Yesterday our wonderful volunteers were set up at The Rooms

The Nature Nook is one of Nature NL's longest-running and most beloved programs. Since 2013, our incredible team of volunteers has welcomed thousands of visitors through interactive, hands-on nature experiences at The Rooms.

In partnership with The Rooms, we offer monthly hands-on sessions to interact with real specimens like seal pelts, skulls, whale baleen, antlers, moose fur, beaver skulls, birds, and so much more! We also have a curated themed scavenger hunts for kids, nature guides for review and fact cards about the nature around us.

Pop by to say hello to the team, and learn about the nature around us!
